Sorption conditioning of eluate of 68Ge/68Ga generator for medical purposes

Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility of using fibrous filled sorbents for efficient purification and conditioning of the eluate of a 68Ge/68Ga generator was demonstrated. The eluate thus prepared was used to label octreo-tide with 68Ga with the aim to obtain a radiopharmaceutical for imaging neuroendocrine and other tumors by positron emission tomography. A pilot installation for prompt and reliable conditioning of the eluate of a 68Ge/68Ga generator was designed and fabricated. The resulting eluate was used to label the modified peptide on the nanomolar level in a high yield.
